  • If you don't have cotton candy flavoring, you can substitute with vanilla extract and a few drops of pink food coloring.
  • For an extra touch of whimsy, sprinkle some edible glitter or colored sugar on top of the cookies before baking.
  • To make the filling extra fluffy, beat it for a few minutes until it becomes light and airy.
  • If you prefer a sweeter filling, you can add more powdered sugar to taste.

  • Allow the pies to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
